AI Pipe Insulation Estimation Software
It's about time pipe insulation estimation got easier.
Pipe insulators bid in linear feet by size and service, plus a fitting and valve count that adds up fast. Most of that work is just reading plans and running a tally, and it takes longer than the actual pricing. Canaveral totals footage by size as you trace, finds the fittings and valves for you, and drives thickness and jacket straight off the spec, all hooked up to your company's custom pricing engine.
How pipe insulation bids come together today...
How Canaveral Helps
Counting linear feet by size and service by hand
Chilled water, hot water, dom hot and cold, steam, condensate, refrigerant. Each system runs at its own size and thickness, and you are highlighting plans and tallying footage one size at a time.
Pipe takeoff by size and system
Trace each system and Canaveral totals linear feet by size automatically. QuickDraw reads pipe sizes off the plans so the footage builds as fast as you can follow the run.
Fittings and valves get covered separately
Every elbow, tee, valve, and flange needs a fitting cover or oversized scope, and counting them across risers and mechanical rooms is its own tedious pass after the straight runs are done.
Fittings and valves counted automatically
Fittings drop in as you trace direction and size changes. SymbolSight finds scheduled valves and equipment on the plans, so the fitting cover count is done alongside the footage.
The spec table dictates thickness, and it is easy to misread
Insulation thickness shifts by pipe size and service temperature. Reading the spec table wrong on one system can put your whole bid off without you catching it.
Reusable specs carry the details for you
Create specs with metadata templates for thickness, jacket, and labor by system and service. Apply a spec to any run and the details follow automatically, so every estimator on the team works from the same assumptions.
Jacket changes with location
PVC in finished spaces, ASJ in mechanical rooms, aluminum outdoors. The same pipe size carries different scope depending on where it runs through the building.
Filter by location for jacketing
Tag runs by area and filter the takeoff to assign the right jacket where it belongs. Your report breaks out footage and fittings by size, system, and location.
And much, much more. See more features
Footage and fitting counts that hold up.
On a piping insulation job the fittings are where the money hides. A valve cover, a flange, an oversized elbow at every direction change. Miss them and the bid looks light until the work starts.
Canaveral resolves every line to your pricing by size and thickness, and counts fittings and valves as you trace. Build labor rates per linear foot and per fitting so the hours come out consistent across every estimator on your team.
Report footage by size, fitting counts by type, and material by system, formatted for how you submit. The takeoff and the bid stay in the same place.
AI speeds you up, & the data layer keeps your bid honest. With Canaveral, you don't need to sacrifice quality for speed.
